Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been a vocal adversary of cryptocurrencies, frequently speaking out against them. He notably targeted opposition leader Pierre Poilievre for his pro-crypto position, dismissing it as reckless leadership while underscoring the risks and volatility of digital assets.
Trudeau’s push for a Canadian Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) further highlights his divergence from the decentralized ideals championed by the crypto community.
